500 chemicals found in one human fat cell

To demonstrate what is happening to our environment, Daily Express reporter Lucy Johnston got just one single cell of her body fat tested for toxins. Although healthy and eating a healthy diet, she found that it contained 500 synthetic chemicals, including two which "are deadly and have been banned in Britain for many years".

This compared to an analysis of a cell from an Egyptian mummy, which had virtually none. This is because all of these chemicals have been released into our environment in the last 60 years. Many of these chemicals are extremely toxic in themselves, and can cause cancers, infertility or gender change.

What the cocktail might cause is, literally, anyone's guess, but scientists believe that it will be worse than the sum of the parts.
